Credit where credits due. You can only beat what turns up and that's what the Witches did tonight. Peterborough turned up with 6 riders not 1 and the Witches riders beat them. Heat 3 Cam had to pass both Panthers to win and this continued through the night with lots of good racing. Yes Peterborough had some bad luck but so did the Witches.

I believe that doubling up should be allowed but the restrictions need to be the same for elite/premier as premier/national. If a rider with an average above 4 in the premier can't double down to the national then why can a rider with an average above 4 in the elite double down in the premier?
Might be wrong but someone told me it was announced at Mildenhall yesterday that Joe Jacobs will cover till end of season. Can anyone confirm this? Surely Josh Bates would be a better bet !
